Question

b) How will you prove that C4H8 and C5H10 are homologues?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

they differ by -CH2-

Answer 2

$C_4H_8$ and $C_5H_{10}$ differ by a $CH_2$ unit which proves that these two are homologous.

• The compounds of a homologous series have the same properties and same functional group.
• The compounds of a homologous series differ by $-CH_2$ unit with its next compound.
• Here the two compounds are $C_4H_8$ and $C_5H_{10}$.
• These two compounds differ by $-CH_2$ unit, these compounds are part of the alkene homologous series. Thus these compounds are homologous.
